Hmm, OK. I have 5 systems, so it's quite a mix...

Windows XP (primary workstation)
Windows XP (development laptop)
Windows XP (desktop publishing workstation)
Windows Server 2003 (home domain fileserver)
Ubuntu linux ("play" box to learn linux on)
Suse 9.2 Linux (same as above).

I'm slowly working my way through the main linux distros to learn which I like best, which is easiest to work with, etc.

XP Professional. I would use Linux but it will not support some of my hardware.

You mean there's another besides XP?
I've read about others but I'm not ready to venture out. XP Home does everything I like.

XP Pro. I plan to take Linux and 2003 Server trial because of learning and comparing these two with my XP. And if there will be Longhorn beta, I'll try it too, but I think I won't get final Longhorn right away. Maybe I'll wait for some time to see if there are some problems with that.

I'm typing this on my Apple Powerbook running MacOS X
Beside me is my main desktop machine running WinXP Pro (it used to dual-boot to Slackware, but I got lazy and don't use it much anymore)
Under the desk to the side is my file server running Win 2k3 Server
Some many many miles away is my web server running RedHat Linux.

I'll likely upgrade from XP Pro on my desktop to Longhorn after a time, and my powerbook will always run OS X in some variety. Server may bounce to Linux again at some point once the on-board NIC is supported.

Nothing but the best and Microsoft should not be used in the same sentence.

Hmmm, where to start, primary OS is win XP pro just cause its the easiest to use when it comes to what I do. Its been tweaked so much that it would scare any normal windows user, and not just the UI either, it runs faster and better then a default install, and set up perfectly for the software dev I get to do from time to time. Other then that, theres Fedora and Ubuntu running on the same computer (ones on a second partition, the other is via VMware)

also run on VMWare are red hat 7 & 9, sun solaris 10 and windows server 2k3. An early version of solaris for connecting to older unix servers, Dos 6 run to make certain things easier, and sitting on my shelf theres a number of other linux distros, win 98 & 98 se, 95, 3.1, dos 3 through 5, couple of live cds, and random linux floppy distros.

Win 2k. One operating system every 6 or 7 years is cool with me.

I am like phil666, I run many vmware and VirtualPC Images of Windows in its' many incarnations.
I run WinXP SP1 on my laptop, W2K3 SP1 on my Server, and XP SP1 on a Drone Box, and I use the Live Version of Kubuntu Linux 5x (with KDE) for my Roaming and Tinkering, I have VMW and VPC Images of RedHat, SUSe and Mandrake Solaris 10 also. I do Desktop Support and try to stay current or be able to float an Image to immerse myself in my Users / Customers Environments as often as possible, or to test something in as well.

So why do you use WindowsXP then? If you don't think it is the best?

There can be many answers to that question. One can be stuck using a OS he doesn't like, but it doesn't make that OS a better product.

Question:

Is there an OS out there that never has any issues with other programs, drivers, and hardware?

If so, is there documentation we can look at that proves this?
